If you know anything about the disappearance of Fawn Mountain, please call the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers at 1-800-472-8477, or submit a tip via their website, pacrimestoppers.org. Either way, you can remain anonymous if you wish.

There’s another number I want to make sure you know about, too, and that’s the National Domestic Violence Hotline. If you’re experiencing domestic violence, please give them a call—they’re available 24/7 to provide support, and a listening ear. You can reach them at 1-800-799-7233.
